Mitzvos

by Chaya Miriam Schlotman

With every tzitzis string
The good we are continuing.

For in the Mitzvos we always do,
From planting to trying our shoe,

So many Mitzvos you cannot count,
Because there is no amount.

They teach us to be kind
And always use our mind.

Surrounded with happiness,
The Jewish life is bliss.

They were given to us by the Almighty
To His nation they belong rightly.

Mitzvos help me to do what’s right
And guide my spiritual sight.

If you would only look and see,
You’d find how much Mitzvos influence me,
For B’nei Yisroel are we.
